Holy sh-t. What kind of country will you create with "zero taxes"? A sh-tty one! No one likes to pay high taxes, but there are almost no highly developed non-microstate nations with low taxes. (Even the Switzerland argument still has a bunch of holes when you look at the aggregate and include all levels of taxation.) How else can you pay for (subsidised) child care, health care, education, unemployment insurance, and national (old-age) pension? It costs a pretty penny.

And what Argentine devs are making 150K USD? Few.
